Answer:

He reached the top of the tree on the 31st day

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance for the owl to climb is 93 units.

If the owl climbed 18 units up the tree every day without coming down, the owl would have taken 93/18 days to reach the top of the tree.

However, the owl descends by 15 units every night. This just reduces the overall distance covered at the end of each day's climb.

The net distance covered by the owl after each day is 18-15 units = 3 units of climb. This is the steady distance the owl gains up the three at the end of each day after the ascent and descent.

The time taken for the climb moving at this pace of 3 units per day will be

93 units / 3 units per day = 31 days

A rectangular prism is 3 units high, 2 units wide, and 5 units long. What is its surface area
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

62 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

Where,

w = width = 2 units

h = height = 3 units

l = length = 5 units

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 ( wl + hl + hw)

= 2 (2*5 + 3*5 + 3*2)

= 2 (10 + 15 + 6)

= 2 (31)

= 62 square units

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 62 square units

From home, Mary’s work is two thirds along the way to training. Training is 2.5km from work. Mary normally goes to work, then tr
polet [3.4K]
First thing to do is to illustrate the problem, Since it was mentioned that work was along the way to training, the order is shown in the picture. Mary's home and workplace are nearer compared to her training center. It is also mentioned that the distance between work and home, denoted as x, is 2/3 of the total distance from home to training. The total distance is (x + 2.5). Thus,

x = 2/3(x+2.5)
x = 2/3 x + 5/3
1/3 x = 5/3
x = 5 km

Thus, the distance from home to work is 5 km. This means that Mary has to walk this distance twice to return home to get her shoes. Then, she will travel again the total distance of 5+2.5 = 7.5 km to get to her training center. So,

Total distance = 2(5km) + 7.5 km
Total distance = 17.5 km

Neptune’s average distance from the sun is 4.503 x 10e9 km. Mercury’s average distance from the sun is 5.791 x10e9 km.about how
Igoryamba

Answer:

77.76 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The average distance of Neptune  from the sun

= 4.503  ×  10 ⁹  k m .

and Mercury  =  5.791  ×  10 ⁷ k m .

Hence neptune is (  4.503  ×  10 ⁹) ÷ (5.791 × 10 ⁷  ) times farther from the sun than mercury

i.e.(  \frac{4.503}{5.791} )  × 10⁹⁻⁷ times

=   0.7776  ×  10 ² times

=   77.76  times.

Consider this claim: Changes in environmental conditions always result in new ecosystems and loss of biodiversity characterized
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

If a desert became flooded, some species would immeadiately go extinct, distrupting the ecosystem, biodiversity, and the food web. This flood might cause new species to enter the ecosystem as well, through means such as rafting. Other species would be forced to adapt to the new environment, leading to adaptation and possibly speciation. For a time the ecosystem would not be very stable, but after a relatively short time, 10 or 20 years, the ecosystem could stabilize itself. So my conclusion is that ecosystems are relatively fluid, they can adapt to almost anything if they have enough time and the change in environment isn’t too drastic.
